Our Vision and Work

Unhealed trauma within individuals, families and whole communities is at the root of some of the worlds most difficult challenges, yet we know more about healing than ever before. We envision a vibrant and connected community where anyone impacted by violence, abuse or other trauma receives the support and attention they need to fully recover and to reach their highest potential. We work with community members, professionals and organizations to raise awareness and to identify, develop, support and promote many options for healing and for preventing trauma. To this end, we provide:

The Trauma Healing Project is dedicated to ensuring that everyone has access to trauma-informed and effective healing and wellness services. To achieve this goal, we offer wellness services that are facilitated by trauma-informed, advanced healing arts practitioners. We provide a safe and comfortable environment for all to come and join us for our drop-in wellness activities.

We are currently able to serve our Spanish speaking community members in our Thursday morning Stress & Anxiety acupuncture clinic and can provide orientation in Spanish. We have also added Hablar es Sanar en español on Tuesdays, which has the same trauma-related topics as our successful Healing Through Discussion support group.

The Trauma Healing Project needs experienced volunteer practitioners to offer services to the Spanish speaking community. We are dedicated to increasing our bilingual, bicultural services and aim to add more services for the Spanish speaking community in the coming year. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Dawn at 541-687-9447 or [email protected]

As we ring in the new year, we look forward to once again seeing those who have been participating in wellness services, and to welcoming new community members. For some of you, getting here during the day can be a challenge. We now have a regular Wednesday evening class: Feel At Home in Your Body, with Francie White. The focus is on learning to regulate the nervous system through natural, gentle and pleasurable movements, using the Feldenkrais method. We can teach our body how to calm or re-energize itself using the only language it knows, movement, and we can carry these lessons into our daily lives. This is a drop-in class, Wednesdays 5:30-6:30 and is designed for everyone, of every mobility. The fee is $5.00. We hope you’ll join us to check it out. So far there have been rave reviews!
